Couldn't help but notice how similar my young Davis Mtn. male is to yours.
See anything near Terlingua in September?

Hey, Mike! Thanks.
Yeah, those Davis' are really neat animals. IMO, all of the snakes from that area are uniquely colored and patterned. lepidus, bairdi, emoryi are also very pretty in the Davis Mts.

A few of the eggs from two triple het clutches are starting to dent and demple inward, hopefully indicative of yolk being absorbed into their little bodies. If it takes more than another week for them to start pipping, I'll be surprised (and even more impatient than I am now LOL).

Hey, I'm just curious, and I know this is a random question...but how old is your silver female, and has she ever bred?

Hey Dusty. good luck with those eggs.

My female silver is about 4 years old and has never bred. I plan on breeding her for the first time to my male silver who is 5 and who has also never bred. So it will be a silver suboc virginfest

See ya.

Here's a shot of the female.

Hey, Dusty,
Your right. They are allot alike.
Not only the Hs but the side blotches as well.
.
The first two nights were good conditions.
.
First two nights and days, Davis Mountains, produced:
This year’s Western Diamondbacks (Crotalus atrox) TMTC (too many to count)
Last year’s Mottled Rock Rattlesnake (Crotalus lepidus) 1
Juvenile Baird’s Rat Snakes (Pantherophis bairdi) 2
Trans-pecos Copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) 1
Texas Night Snake (Hypsiglena torquata) 1
Kansas Glossy Snake (Arizona elegans) 1
Great Plains Rat Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) 1
This year’s Sonoran Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer) 1
Western Coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum) 2 TTTC (Too Tired to Chase)
Trans-pecos Rat Snake (Bogertophis subocularis) 2
.
Of course, we're 99.8% catch and release, but the first two subocs were my 0.2% for this year!
.
We were in Terlingua on the fourth night and we started finding a high count of Texas Night Snakes and WDBs. Those together in numbers seem to be the kiss of death for subocs!!!
.
Only saw the River Road animal.
The full trip report is elsewhere on the net on field herping.
.
Email me if you want the exact location of the subocs.
.
You must be going crazy on those eggs you’re cooking!!!!
Good Luck and keep us posted.
